The Spirit Annual Pay;e 33 CLASS WILL We, the class of lint), liaving stnij gled valiantly through American History aiitl beginning to feel the reaction setting in, do feel it necessary to file our last will and testament. All of our worldly possessions gained from this Hall of Fame and Knowledge have been won by much mental anguish and physical tor¬ ture. e, therefore, being of a kind and benignant nature do will to those who come after us what has co.st us .so much: (1) To you all, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, we will our four years of experience. (2) To the Juniors we will and bequeath our American history mapbooks, reference books, notebooks. Miss Ball and Fite. These are all in excellent con¬ dition, as very little has been taken (Tom them. (3 ) To the S phomores, who are reported to be very promising, we will our ability and hope that they may come up to our standard. (4) To the Freshmen we will modestly and humility, tho.se (lualities most admirable in Fre.shmen, and .so lacking in our present brood. (5) To Sataiij the English students will their copies of Adam Bede, to be u.sed as a source of mental torture for the “angels without wings.” We hoj)e they can finally come to a definite conclusion as to why Dinah preferred Adam. (6) The Chemi.stry and Physics classes will their laboratory bills to Miss Thornburg’s bank account. (7) To Pauline Thompson, Cleo ' Meredith and Zelma Holmes the Seniors in a body, feeling that they have dire need for such articles, will what brains they have left after finals are over. (8f To Garnett Ellett and Eber Sherman a cake of soap, not one betweem them, but each a whole cake. (9) To each and every one of the teachei s we will the ability, gained from contact with us to teach more adequately. 1 10) To Mr. Steffy we will a new book for announcements, (his old one seems to be growing worn and full) aLso more non-excuse slii)s as the coming genera¬ tion is reputed to be wild. (11) To all of the teachers with diamonds we will an honorable discharge and wish them happine.ss in the future. (12) To Mr. Cramer, our beloved Agriculturist, we will ideas more befitting his age and position than some he now holds, especially concerning ])ictures. Some of our members, not being satisfied with a general will, desire to indi¬ vidually will and bequeath .some of their most loved and cherished ])osse.ssions. (1) Julia Arrasmith wills her nightingale voice to ' j’ed Kooser to assi.st him in prima donna parts in future carnivals. (2) Russell Barker wills his affections for A. H. S. girls to Eddie Rutherford. (3) Marie Morteii.sen wills her formula for making her hair curly to Norma Haverlv. A ' (4) Mi.ss Fickle wills her dignity and .sedateness to the youngest and most boi.sterous teacher in .school. Miss Wilma R. Rayburn. (5) Loraine Caul wills her brains and general literal ; ability to “Dodo” Wil¬ son. (6) Carol ui Cro.sby wills her art of gentle sarcasm to Mi.ss Co.skery who is .sadly lacking in this, especially the gentle part. (7) Manning Tb well wills his bluffing ability to the needy of the junior class. (8) Ivadell El wood wills Louie, body and soul, to his “prep” admirers. T
